Pretty fun! It's a game, there wasn't a whole lot unique about it, but i enjoyed the story and cutscenes, the art was fine, i think the ground being a flat pink could've been improved, and the music could've been better, but otherwise, I still enjoyed playing through it. Good game!

nice story writing there and i like the games idea. Saddly puzzles were kind of easy and i managed to cheese(wait thats wrong word for this game, i mean like cheat) some of them with weird box puishing collisions. Also color scheme isnt the best in levels so you could have focussed to that bit more to make game look better. Still very cute game that i liked very much

AHH, it was a cute happy ending. Good concept. Great reason why fail the level. Only thing. the hitboxes were kinda weird. I didn't know where can I fit or where it safe from cheese. But well done nonetheless. And a big bravo to the one who draws the mouse. Super cute

I like the concept of "failing the tests to rebel against the humans" ;). The art is really good, especially in the cutscenes.  I didn't understand the munch mechanic at first, and ended up beating the first level with it by cheesing it (you can push the block diagonally and get to the hole). I also like how you actually wrote a few paragraphs for the thesis.

This game was great! The art is really good and cute, and the music really fits the atmosphere. It was quite a creative idea and a fun one if you ask me! The UI was kinda messed up, but that's probably because of the online version, it happens a lot. Probably it wouldn't have happened in the app version. 

Some suggestions I would add to improve the game are:

- A tutorial. I didn't understand some of the mechanics and got stuck a lot. So, a tutorial would be nice so the players know what to do.

- Either extended the music or add multiple tracks. Since after a while the player may get sick of the same beat over and over.

- Add SFX whenever you lose or win as an indicator.

Other than that, the game great with a creative idea!

Keep it up!

This game is so cute, I like the storyline and the cutscenes, the game art reminds me of old school games back in the day, nicely done.

I loved the illustrations :D The game is simple , easy to understand and fun. Controls were responsive and the mouse is adoreable :D My advice would be when pressing space while the letters come to screen it should not skip the entire text it should instantly write the text on the screen . I wanted to read them fast so i pressed space but it skipped them entirely :d Overall it was fun nice work :D

Developer

Thank you! I'll keep this in mind for future jams!

Interesting idea to implement the topic with a plot. I appreciate the variety of levels.

Developer( 1)

I'm glad you enjoyed the story and levels! Thank you for playing!

I really like the plot as a take on the theme and the cutscene illustrations, they're just adorable. The gameplay visuals are a little simplistic though in my opinion (but the mouse sprite still looks super cute I want to pet it lol). Overall great job :D

Nice game with a cute little message. I really liked the art and story moments.

The gameplay is just a small maze game but it is fine for what it is. The only thing I would criticize is that the music gets a bit repetitive. 

Well done.

Developer

Thank you so much! I admit music is not my forte, but I hope to improve on that aspect with future games.
Thanks for your feedback!

Really nice game!  I loved the little mouse sprite, it's cute.  The crayon (it looks like it was made with a digital crayon tool at least) image for after you finish the maze is really good too!  I also like how you began the game right away and then explained it after the simple maze run, it was a neat way of introducing the game.  Unfortunately it wouldn't let me go any further after that first maze run and dialogue afterwords.  It just stays frozen at the end of that camera panning.  I tried to go back and see if there was something I missed, but  it wouldn't let me put the game into focus for me to actually do input after I played the game a couple times.  (I was playing the HTML version.)  Regardless, I really liked the game.  Well done!

Developer

Thanks for your feedback! I've added a clarification to use the spacebar to advance dialogue, so if you could try again it would mean a lot! Either way, thanks for taking the time to try our little game!

I just tried it again and was able to proceed!  I really loved it,  I especially liked the last couple levels, they were funny!  I think your response to the theme was very good!  Well done!

Developer

Thank you for giving it another chance! And thanks for your feedback we made sure people can play the game as intended, Thank you!

I loved the concept, the graphics and mechanics. I wasn’t taken to a second level would of loved to see more! Nice work!

I would appreciate some feedback as well :D

Developer

Thank you! That one's on us, we forgot to mention space bar is used to advance dialogue. Thanks for trying our game regardless! I'll check yours for sure!
